CLASS HISTORY The Spirit of Warsaw Central first entered our lives in kindergarten with Miss Meyers as our teacher. With great pride, we would bring our little brlht-colored rugs to school for our daily nap. Unfortunately, one day the teacher caught Donny Morgan pulling a little girl's hair and sent him to sit in the lonely comer by the clay pots. In the first grade, our studies began. ,lean Bryant was among those that joined us this year. Miss Wells was our teacher. ln second grade our Spirit introduced us to Miss Charles. The sand pile seemed' to fascinate everyone, especially Bill Dunn. He would kneel on the floor and watch the pretty sand sift through the cracks on to the nicely polished floors. Miss Bassage had the misfortune of putting up with us in third grade. Eraser tag was the pop- ular game. Mary Klahn could never be caught, because she kept the eraser stuck between her two braids and it just wouldn't fall oH'. We were now in fourth grade under the rule of Miss Canty. Our studies were interrupted one day with a mighty shriek. A little boy was bein taken to Mr. Prest0n's office because of bad be avior - - w at a horrible fate! ,Iohn TruesdelT had a hay ride, to which the whole class was invited. In fifth grade we knitted afghans. To Mrs. Robinson's surprise, John Truesdell was the cham- pion knitter. Miss Affleck was our teacher in the sixth grade. There was a buddin romance between Anna Alfieri and Wayne Spencer. Every noon they would play tit-tat-toe on tie board. Norma Pringle, ,Ianice Nevinger, .Ioyce Bailer, and Pat Parkhurst came into our class. Although it was a ainst the rules, Winnie Barrett insisted on stuffing books under her coat so she could take themiome. The Spirit of Warsaw Central ushered in several new members during the seventh grade, in- cluding Don Nash, ,lean Hollister, Alice Baker, Lenore Chase, lrene Pawlak, and Mike Morgan. Lee Cass created uite a commotion when he suddenly presented Alice with a butterfly pin. The girls began to coffk this year under the guidance of Miss Chase. One day they showed their accomplishments by preparing dinner for the teachers. This offered such a temptation that some- one eglptied a salt shaker in the soup. Miss Chase dubbed us juvenile deliquents, and we sewed from t en on. Our last year in grade school proved uite eventful. Margie Todd, Ann Platt, Margaret Murtha, Mary Friend, Conrad and Donald Kososki joined us that year. The freshman boys had to march throu h our homeroom to get to their classes. The result was amazing: all the girls dressed their Trest, and looked forward to morning and noon to catch a glim se of the Hupperclassmenn. For our English class, ,loyce Bailer wrote a play entitled School, Days . As one of the main characters, it included a dog which slipped out between acts and wandered into the variois halls and rooms. The Spirit beamed with pride when we were the first freshman class to organize with Jimmy Calahan as our president and Miss Reed as our class sponsor. During our freshman year we were privileged to have Miss Bishop for one half year in algebra. She spent almost all of it trying to prove to us that one can't add x and Hy . During our sophomore year Miss Stowater's classes were never dull. The climax came when the fellows put glue on the floor and poor Miss Stowater had difficulty walking for the rest of the day. The sophomore boys showed their scientific ability by inventing and building jet racers, and then they proceeded to race them up and down the third floor hall during science club meet- ings endangering the lives of student pedestrians. The Spirit nearly had a nervous breakdown -during our junior year when a tie arose in voting for the junior rin . There was a fierce battle one activity period until the ,Iostens won, but the Bastian faction Siieatened to secede for weeks afterwards. Miss Price, our class sponsor, de- serves most of the credit for the success of our junior prom and the junior-senior picnic. Last year our Spirit gladly welcomed lluth Gohlke, DeEtta Merritt, Margaret Bagg, and Don Williams. Finally, that September morning came when the Spirit held open the front door for the class of 1950. There are many memories for this year, too, like the time when Ray Ott lost his clothes at the Senior Play, when Arnold Englehardt joined us, and when Bashful Bill Embury climbed u the air shaft to avoid dancing in gym class. And now with the senior ball, baccalaureate, ciiass night and graduation coming, we say good-bye, and thank you for a grand time, Spirit of Warsaw Central School. - 23
